Hey all,
Just a quick heads-up, but I'm taking a small sabbatical until Saturday the 26th. I'll be online, but just in case I miss emails or forget to post something, y'all won't think I'm leaving you empty-handed.
Not only is it a holiday here in the US, but I've also been getting my floors replaced. I'm finally getting this done after they got messed up last year from a 1-2 punch of hail damage and flood damage (separate events).

Hey all!
Got another one-word prompt for you, this time for a high-level green dragon Dungeons & Lairs that should debut in early December or so.
The Cloven Tree stands tall even among the other great oaks of the forest, but it was once taller still. A few decades ago, during a mighty storm, a lightning bolt sundered the tree. The Elves who lived amongst its boughs were forced to take refuge and when they returned some days later they found the top of the tree was gon... 2022-11-13 21:55:26 +0000 UTC View Post
Edit: I still need about 70 one-word prompts (it's a big map), so even if you've previously donated a word, please feel free to donate another. Thanks!
Hey all!
I'm working on the Classic Dungeon for the month of November. Just got a cool map from our friend Tim Hartin and it's got a TON of areas, definitely in the vein of Neverending Dungeon/Nightmare Tunnels. I'm going to make these a little more brisk for DMs in the old school style, so while much larger than your stan...

Hey all!
So there's no confusion with the Kickstarter stuff, here's our schedule for November. We're pretty far ahead of schedule in terms of production, so we should be gravy.
All dates, times, and content are subject to change.
Dungeons & Lairs Releases
Hey all!
With the Gamemaster's Survival Guide wrapping up, it's time for me to start planning the next Kickstarter. Art takes a long time, so it's better to get it ordered early. That way, the artists are working on it while I'm writing and coordinating on the book.
(Also, all the adventures here are covered by the DMDave Writing Team).
Below are some ideas I've had for the May-June 2023 Kickstarter. Which one are you most interested in? Thanks for letting me know!
Hey!
I'm sure many of you already know, but we're currently wrapping up our big Kickstarter. It's now in the Final 48 hours! Woohoo! For those of you who've already backed it, thank you so much. That means to world to me!
And for those of you who haven't seen it yet, here's the information:

Hey all,
I'm working on another quick Dungeons & Lairs for this month titled Zombie Farmhouse. It's a total riff on the classic Night of the Living Dead and is actually a "secret sequel" to one of our most popular adventures (you'll know the one when you read it, I don't want to spoil the surprise).
Naturally, I need some one word prompts! I've got 25 areas to fill. Let's goooo!
In the comments below, leave me a single word prompt. I'll use your word to detail the area. ...

Wight Cemetery is now out, and Chain Devil Crypts are on the way. While I'm waiting for Tom to create the ruined version of the cathedral to continue the gargoyle adventure, I'm going to make a couple more Dungeons & Lairs. The only problem is, I'm not sure what to do next!
I've listed some options below of creatures I'd be interested in writing about. Let me know which ones interest you the most.

Well, folks overwhelmingly voted for a weekly installment of Monster of the Day (or week, I suppose), which means I better get creating!
Here's my process:
Hey all!
Quick poll for all of you. But I'm considering bring back Monster of the Day. If so, would this be something that you're interested in getting again? A new monster every day?
Or would you prefer that I just add new monsters to adventures that are coming out anyways.
Let me know in the poll below.

Deep below the city of Fisas hides a mess of dwarven catacombs. This location was once the site of a great miracle—the revival of the fabled Golden Priest. But that's ancient history. Now, a vile clan of grimlocks lurks in these dark tunnels, serving their despicable master, the medusa Sthelco. Obsessed with beauty and youth, Sthelco sends his minions forth to capture the children of Fisas, transforming them into permanent fixtures in his stone garden.
Hey all!
Since BroadSword Monthly officially ends on Monday, with the last issue being the Best of DMDave Adventures Compendium, I hit up the Electrum, Gold, and Platinum folks on the types of content that they want to replace it. So far, it's about 67% in favor of additional adventures over educational stuff. And while there's more than a week to go with the poll, I figured I better prepare in advance (plus, runaway leads like that rarely switch over).
This leads me to m...

October is officially the last month of BroadSword Monthly. All folks this month at the Electrum tier and higher will get PDFs of the Best of DMDave Adventure Compendium, with Gold and Platinum getting physical copies.
To replace BroadSword, I'll be offering exclusive content for you all. I mentioned doing videos, but I thought I might poll you all and see which you'd prefer.
Would you like to see videos detailing how to write adventures, c...
